Change main plot legend label text

Question

So far I have been able to label the subplots just fine but I\'m having an issue with the main one.

Here\'s the relevant part of my code:

data_BS_P =

You need to gain access of the legend() object and use set_text() to change the text values, a simple example:

plt.plot(range(10), label='Some very long label')
plt.plot(range(1,11), label='Short label')
L=plt.legend()
L.get_texts()[0].set_text('make it short')
plt.savefig('temp.png')

In your case, you are changing the first item in the legend, I am quite sure the 0 index in L.get_texts()[0] applies to your problem too.
